2 adults, 3 kids (ages 3-9), and 2 medium sized dogs.
How do we do this? Can we make a pickup truck work? Super interested in any experienced feedback!
I don't think the dogs would like riding on the floor for hours on end. You would probably have to stop and let them out every 2-4 hours.

I know a large SUV is an option but will not tow the size travel trailer we’re really interested in.
Define "large SUV" and just what size trailer are you looking at.
An Expedition MAX has room for the 3 kids in the second row and plenty of room for the dogs in the back (everything would have to go in the trailer). Properly equipped, it can tow a combined weight of over 15,000 lbs, 9,000 lbs trailer, but I would try to keep the LOADED trailer weight under 8,000 lbs.
